In their advertising, businesses nowadays usually emphasise that their products are in some way. Why is this? Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

Since there are prominent technological advances present today, companies often insist to customers that their items are fresh by using any method during advertising.

The number of overweight children in developed countries is increasing. Some people this is due to problems such as the growing number of fast food outlets. Others believe that parents are to blame for not looking after their children's health. To what extent do you agree with these views?

The rapid increase in overweight children in a country like Sri Lanka can be seen in many arguments. As mentioned in the question it can be caused by fast-moving food outlets and careless parents who do not pay attention to their kid's energy. In my opinion, there could be other reasons as well. But I would agree with the mentioned two validations since they are the main causes.

Over the recent years, a number of communities have been living with or alone rather than with their folk and arguments have persisted as to whether it has a bad impact on societies. Although there are strong arguments on both sides, I strongly believe that living with a clan is better.

Countries are becoming more and more similar because people are able to buy the same products anywhere in the world. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Globalization has changed the community's behaviour. Some societies have been becoming more and more similar due to nations' convenience to similar goods everywhere.

Over time living on our planet will become more complicated. It is often said that the government should invest more money in the research of other planets for living.

However, regarding the distant future, it would be better to spend some budget on space investigation.
